Tyson Grilled & Ready Whole Breast Fillets: Review & Giveaway

***Closed: Congrats to barbara.montyj & Jessilyn82***

With summer here, it seems like I should I have so much more time to get dinner ready in the evenings. I mean, there's no school, no soccer. It seems like I have all the time in the world to get dinner together. And yet, 5 o'clock rolls around and I often find myself staring at the pantry thinking about what I can get on the table in under 20 minutes.

This is where Tyson Grilled & Ready Whole Breast Fillets come in. Pre-cooked, I can pop them in a skillet or the microwave and have them ready in minutes. I can easily add them to pasta, stir-fry, or salad. I can also just serve them as is or add a little spice to them.Tyson Grilled & Ready Whole Breast Fillets are 98% fat free and do not contain preservatives. The Tyson Grilled & Ready line is available in the freezer section of most grocery stores, although my small town store has yet to pick them up. Other varieties included in the line are:

Chicken Breast Strips

Fajita Chicken Breast Strips

Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast

Southwestern Chicken Breast Strips

Seasoned Beef Strips

We added our chicken breasts to pasta and veggies one night, for a simple and quick dinner. It was both filling and satisfying. Another night, we tossed the pre-cooked chicken onto a baking sheet to serve with bread sticks and oven fries.

I really like how quickly the chicken can be ready to serve and how versatile the plain breasts can be. Plus, I am incredibly picky about meat, and had no complaints about the taste or texture.

My favorite chicken recipe is chicken pockets. Marinate the chicken, grill or cook in a pan. Mix with cream cheese and whatever veggies you want. They get a tube of crescent rolls, unroll and seperate into 4 squares. Put your filling in the middle of each square, wrap it up in the crescent roll and bake!

One of my favorite chicken recipes is something I had at a restaurant called "Chicken Elizabeth". It's flattened boneless chicken breasts, stuffed with chopped spinach and gouda cheese, then topped with a white sauce. It is awesome!
